program g++ not found in path - c

I am using Eclipse for a C project. I created a new Project by going to New->C project->Executable->Empty Project, Linux gcc toolchain.
When I add a new .c file, I get "program 'g++' not found in path".
How do I get rid of this? I'm not even using C++.

I had similar problem and it is solved by
Installing g++ The GNU C++ complier using ubuntu software centre and
Changing in -
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Settings -> Discovery -> CDT GCC Build in Complier Settings [Shared]
From: ${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
To : /usr/bin/${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
I hope it helps.

For posterity I'm going to post my own solution to this problem. None of the answers above or on related StackOverflow questions helped; most referred to menu entries that didn't exist, and the ones I could try did nothing. I searched other sites as well; there were about 6 different answers repeated many times, and none helped.
Short answer: I blew away the Eclipse install and replaced it. Then it worked. For me at least it wasn't a project or configuration option (at least not one I could get to from the GUI); something in the Eclipse program folder had gotten tweaked and only a new install could repair the problem.
I'm doing Android development using the "ADT" (Android Developer Tools) build of Eclipse. I did something to the configuration that made it start giving the above error (actually two errors, for gcc and g++ both). And I tried plenty of potential solutions (in addition to my own searching for options that might help) with no success.
Thing is, I didn't NEED gcc or g++ in the path. I'm doing Android development, and while both are used in the build process, I'm not using Eclipse to do the builds; I use the Android build system. And the C/C++ Build/Discovery options didn't even give me an option for setting paths for gcc or g++. Other answers I found elsewhere referenced menu entries that don't exist, and most seemed to be about helping people to use the normal C/C++ build within Eclipse, which I didn't need to do.
So I used this opportunity to download the latest ADT package from Google, and then I ran the new one, importing the existing project into a new workspace (just in case the old workspace was corrupted or otherwise part of the problem). No more annoying gcc/g++ error.

I got the same error while I was using "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers."
Install Eclipse from Ubuntu Software Center and then download and install Eclipse CDT.
To install CDT, open Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archieve...
Then give CDT path to there. That's all

I was able to fix the problem by selecting
project(right click in Project Explorer on your project)->properties->Tool Chain Editor
and switching the Current Toolchain: to Android GCC and Current Buolder: to Android Builder

I also had the same problem. I did not have this error running my program but after a adding, including different Api and paths , probably unintentionally some changes happened in my Path that I could not fix it.
I could fix this error by going to Properties and just restore default for all the Tabs.

Codelite not running C programs

Everytime I try to build and run a program, including the standard 'Hello world!' nothing happens, I get:
==== Program exited with exit code: 0 ====
Time elapsed: 000:00.000 (MM:SS.MS)
Press any key to continue...
At the bottom it says:
'ming32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable prgram or batch file.
I have Codelite version 16 on Windows 10. I also have MinGW installed to C: and have edited the Environment variables to include C:\MinGW\bin
However, in command prompt gcc --version shows me the gcc version in C:\Users\me> and not C:\MinGW
I don't know if this is relevant or not.
All the other results seem to suggest a compiler not found problem, but this does not seem to be my case. Thanks in advance.
This is what I have installed at the moment. Can I get 'make'from one of the other files?
The Installed files
Looks like you either don't have ming32-make.exe or it can't be found.
Also I notice you still use old MinGW. I would recommend switching to newer MinGW-w64 (which supports both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit).
The standalone build from https://winlibs.com/ does include ming32-make.exe, and since you can just unzip it (no installation needed) you can try it without removing the old MinGW. Just make sure you don't have anything in your PATH variable to avoid running programs from the wrong location.
ming32-make.exe is either not installed or can't be found on your Environment variable PATH.
No, there is no mingw32-make in that bin folder. When I used the Installer originally I only selected: mingw32-gcc-g++-bin although there were other bin files. Where can I get it?
mingw32-make is outdated.
See How to compile makefile using MinGW?
If you are having problems with mingw, I would recommend using MSYS2 or a package manager like Chocolatey.
Just get rid of the previous installation first. Not mandatory but prevents confusion and storage drain due to multiple copies of mingw.
To install MinGw using chocolatey, run cmd as admin and use
choco install mingw
For make
choco install make
What worked for me was also installing mingw32-base-bin from the Installer (see second option in image in the original question).
The installation tutorial I was following did not mention installing this.
I've decided to leave this here as an answer in case someone else runs into a similar problem.
MSYS is a good option for compilers in recent CodeLite or VS-Code installation. https://www.msys2.org/.
Once you downloaded the compiler using the following steps from the installer but still have the problem with the make then follow these steps:
Reopen the MSYS2 terminal from your windows if that is previously installed.
Run the command pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
You will be asked to select the option from the list. You should select the option which refers to mingw-w64-x86_64-make.
Once the installation is successfully done, then open CodeLite settings->Buid Settings and check your Make file location. If that is empty or showing an unknown location then click the three dots at the very right of that box. The browse and navigate to location or where you installed the make by pacman. In my case it is C:/msys64/usr/bin/make.exe.
Click Apply and Save.
Now it might be needed to create a fresh workspace and re-run your code.

How do I statically link to a lib when creating a command line program in xcode?

I'm new to OSX and XCode and I'm trying to statically link to a C app. I downloaded and installed libconfig and I link to the installed libconfig.a. It works great on my machine but when I run my binary on another machine I get an error that says libconfig.dylib can't be found. Naturally, I don't want to have to install libconfig everywhere I use my app.
I've scoured through the xcode build settings and the only reference I see is the one for libconfig.a. What am I doing wrong?
I got this to work. This seems to be a libconfig build issue, maybe expected behavior but it surprised me. I was linking to libconfig.a, but it appears that libconfig.a was linking to libconfig.dylib. I reconfigure libconfig and reinstalled it.
./configure --disable-shared
make clean
make
make install

Launch Failed Binary not found Eclipse for C in Windows

I installed Eclipse CDT plugin and also the following packages:
MinSys
MinGW
I have also added paths to their bin in the PATH environment variable. Even then I am unable to compile and run any sample program in Eclipse.
How can I fix this? Thanks for your concern.
I even faced this error and searched a lot to fix. Fortunately, I figured it out myself.
The following are the things you need to make sure they are set:
Window > Preferences > C/C++ > New CDT project wizard > Makefile Project > Binary Parsers
a) Set it to PE Windows Parser if you are on windows.
b) Set it to Cygwin PE Parser if you are using Cygwin
c) Set it to Elf parser if you are using ubuntu
Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Build > Environment
Now click on "select" and select "Path" variable so that you add you path variables in Eclipse.
Now its all done!
All you have to do is write a test program and press Ctrl+B (Build all; there is a button on menu bar) and after that click "Run".
After all the setup is done.Go to eclipse project --> build all or Ctrl + B then eclipse automatically build up the binaries and other stuffs now run your project
Open project properties (Right click on your project, choose Properties on the menu)
C/C++ Build -> Settings
Click on Binary Parsers tab and check PE Windows Parser
In my case
I just save the programme. Press Ctrl + B to build it.
Refresh it.
Then run the programme.
Now you can see this will work fine.
Build
Refresh the project. A new folder named Binaries will appear now in project explorer.
Now Run :)
This problem happened with me. I found the problem that the anti-Virus that I am using considered the binary file as a Trojan and disable the Eclipse from successfully build it. You need to disable the auto-Protection mode, then build the project and run.
Just happened to me and it was a bit silly.
Eclipse didn't show any errors but apparently there was one in the console window.
Double-check that everything's okay there.
Same issue, but on Mac OS on Eclipse Kepler. Fixed with the following configuration
Right click project->properties->C/C++ General->Run/Debug Settings.
I didn't see any launch configuration. So, I created new and input the following entries. Problems is the name of the application :-). Remember that this will only work for Debug project, not for Release or you will have to update the build setting again. Hope this helps.
Select FCC and CDT as your default builder for project. This could help you to solve the problem. By the way, I also encourage you to use Geany program instead. It works ok as well. It's ready to use just only install gcc through MinGW.
I managed to fix this problem by changing the default builder from CDT Internal to GNU Make, by right clicking the project → Properties → C/C++ Build → Tool Chain Editor → Current builder → GNU Make Builder.
Similar problem was faced by me. Once you are within Eclipse IDE try doing the following.
Windows -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment -> (Add environment variables) -> Click on select all) -> OK
Now, in the same dialog box
New C/C++ project -> Make file project -> Choose Respective Parser* -> Click on Apply and Apply and Close.
Choosing a parser
For Linux - Choose 'Elf Parser' or 'GNU Elf Parser'
For Windows - Choose 'PE Windows Parser'
For Mac OS - Choose 'Mach-o Parser' or 'Mach-o 64 Parser'
Try Building your program and running it. If you still find the Binary Failed Error, Do the following :
Click on Run -> Run Configuration -> C/C++ Application -> click on project_name debug -> click on browse and select your project file -> Press Ok -> below it Browse binary file ( Goto your Eclipse Workspace and select your project file -> You'll find two files 1.Debug 2.Src -> Click on Debug file -> Next click on the file with your project name and Press ok) -> then click apply and press run button.
This should solve the problem.
add third party libraries if in case you are trying to compile OPEN SANKORE project in other projects try to install third party libraries to linux
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libmng-dev libpng12-dev

I faced the same problem and tried above methods but no use and when I tried to execute in command prompt it gave me "Application not launched properly ...." error and then I tried with code block it gave me "Application not launched properly..." error. Then I downloaded MinGW from
http://www.equation.com/ It started to work
Even I have faced this similar problem and reason behind this problem is pretty simple that compiler failed to get binary file of your written code.
So where is your mistake ?
Answer is there is something wrong in your eclipse installing process. Yes you have not installed it correctly
Here is solution
First thing is no one know where is defect in installing process even you don't know about that.
and here is tutorial "How to install eclipse correctly".
How to Install Eclipse On Windows for C and C++ Correctly
Trust me after watching this you will find your mistake and binary will be found by your compiler.
Watch this whole 8 minute video, this is only solution I found after 7-8 days of hard work.
I had the same Issue of "binary not found" and I had tried all of the solutions but unfortunately nothing worked. I was trying stuff and found out that when I switched my current toolchain(right click on project click settings->c/c++ build->tool chain editor) Cross GCC to Cygwin GCC, clean all build all and guess what ? I am able to run !!

Setting Default NetBeans Options (-std=c99, -Wall) for C programs

I have NetBeans 6.9 installed and working fine on Ubuntu Linux 11.10. My goal is to set compiler options like -Wall and -std=c99 to be used by default. Currently, I have to right click on my project -> Properties -> C Compiler -> Warning Level to "More Warnings" and add -std=c99 to Additional Options. This is obviously a pain when creating many projects, and I'm sure there is a way to make all of this the default.
I found this thread which relates closely to my question. However, the only answer involves installing Code::Blocks and MSYS 1.0.11, which doesn't make much sense to me. I don't see how installing another IDE will help me, and MSYS seems unnecessary, as I am already using Linux.
I have tried every reasonable search term I can imagine, and am very surprised how little info I have turned up. It seems like most everyone who uses NetBeans should have to change this type of thing at some point. Terms I'm searching for: 'NetBeans -std=c99 default', 'NetBeans set default compile options', 'how to make NetBeans use c99 by default' and 'Code::Blocks settings into NetBeans'.
Here are some different things that you can do:
Copy and share the configuration files between projects, so you won't have to set every setting.
Create a default project, and configure however you like it. When you want to create a new project, just copy the default project and rename it to something else.
Modify your toolchain properties.
For details, see here:
NetBeans settings for GCC
You can create a Project Template Module. I was aware this is possible but didn't try it before, and this link is explaining how to do it;
https://blogs.oracle.com/seapegasus/entry/tip_create_your_own_project
(First you need NetBeans with platform SDK, not just C/C++ Bundle.)
I followed steps;
Open/Create your project with settings you want to use.
Create a NetBeans module project, choose a Code Base Name, i gave my.templates.ctemplate1
Add "Module Development > Project Template" to the module project. Choose your C project in "Select Project" step.
At next step select the Category as C/C++ and give a name for template i used MyCTemplate1.
Right click on module project and select "Create NBM", it will create my-templates-ctemplate1.nbm in the build folder of the module project.
Tools > Plugins > Downloaded , click "Add Plugin" and point to the nbm file in the build folder. Select install, it will give warnings because it's not signed.
When you want to create a new C/C++ project you will see your template in the wizard which will have all the settings as your first C project has.
Enjoy other possibilities; files, folders in original project will be there.
Have you tried editing your netbeans.conf file (for me, it's in /usr/local/netbeans-7.0.1/etc/netbeans.conf) and adding the options you need to the netbeans_default_options line? From looking at my version of the file, you might need to prepend -J to the switches (hence -Wall would become -J-Wall.)

How to install C Compiler to Eclipse?

I have install the C/C++ CDT Version of Eclipse.
After making a HelloWorld.c file and get the code in there I get an error of "Launch failed. Binary not found".
I found in google that my Eclipse miss the compiler and I install MinGW on my computer and add the path to env variables (tested it with "gcc -v" in cmd and succeded).
But poorly it get the same Launch Failed error - any ideas, what step I forgot?
Some things to check:
1.) MinGW tools are installed as well. Make sure you have the C compiler and the Make program
2.) Check your Environment variables. Make sure both the compiler and Make are on the path.
3.) Eclipse is a temperamental beast at times, don't lose heart :-)
4.) If you're looking for a good IDE (without care for ideological concerns), might be worth looking at Bloodshed C++ IDE and Visual C++ 2010 express (or whatever they call their free version).
5.) Check the options menu in Eclipse to make sure it's looking at the correct environment variables for finding the Path.
IMHO, the simplest setup for eclipse on windows these days is cygwin - it seems to have been updated more recently than mingw, and works better.
Go to http://www.cygwin.com/, download the installer, select the default directory of c:\cygwin. Select 'All users'.
When it offers a list of packages, select 'gcc', 'binutils' and 'make' under the 'devel' category.
Add c:\cygwin\bin to your windows environment PATH.
Make sure Eclipse knows where to find your gcc compiler. An easier way would be to use EasyEclipse until you are more comfortable with your dev env.
I needed to move from the MinGW gcc to the CygWin gcc - all the C++2011 works and others say it is a better option too. Download the CygWin binaries etc. and then open up Eclipse.
In project properties, C/C++ Build -> Environment and set the CYGWIN_HOME variable. This worked fine for me on Eclipse Kepler Windows 7 (64Bit)
I also put the cygwin bin directory at the front of my Windows PATH variable.
Full details here:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_o_home.htm
You can try installing wascana. It automatically set up GNU compiler for you on Windows.
